Can anyone recommend a good product for putting on my fence ?

I've just spent around 8k on my garden only for the local cats to treat my property like their local toilet!
They have also scratched my sleeper wall to pieces.

I absolutely hate cats, Im fed up of seeing them come wondering in and fouling in my flowers and sleeping on my shed roof.

I was thinking of getting some drawing pins and glueing them on the fence but was wondering if there is anything better ?

Also, anyone know what the legalities of catching a cat and forcing the owner to pay for all the damages its done to my garden ?

Hmmm..... remember the nasty woman who stuffed a cat in bin!!

The difference with a Cat is that it goes off on it's own and is untrainable. Even a Dog if left to run wild will need to relieve itself eventually and it would use a garden or a pavement if it needed to.

We as humans are lucky in having the luxury of toilets but what did we do before these came along? Probably dug a hole in the ground and dumped in it, pretty much like a cat does.

After reading this thread I've come up with a money making idea. I will market Cat protection equipment. Hard soled boots for spikes, ear plugs for sonic devices and nose pegs, (similar to the ones used by swimmers), for the citrus spreaders.

Could be on a little goldmine here.

what about diluted jeyes fluid sprayed on the fence.
I have dogs peeing on a small hedge which was dying so I started spraying a six inch strip along the pavement just in front and they now walk on by and the hedge lives another day.

To quote the post from a cat owner about "moaning neighbours" who should be taken seriously, there were reports last year of cats being poisoned, this neighbour obviously got fed up of moaning and took very serious action instead.

We heard our neighbour threatening our cats while talking on the phone in her garden. She had seen another black cat in hers so it OBVIOUSLY must have been our black cat (Who stayed inside 90% of the time and who only went to the toilet in the veg patch when he did go out as he stayed in the garden.)

OH said to her that if our cats mysteriously end up poisoned, he'll know exactly where the poison originated and be knocking on her door.

Since when is it okay if something is annoying you to go and kill it?

One of our neighbours put something fashioned out of wood and long nails around to hurt our cats - hilarious when he put it on his front door step and the only thing that was hurt was him

Oh god if this was the case I'd be in big trouble!

Well actually if it was ok I wouldn't.

But I'd be very lonely!

When I lived in London, I could happily have sat behind my bedroom curtain with a sniper rifle and taken out 90% of the (seeming) idiots who walked past my house. I reckon no jury in the land would have convicted me, either.

a cat intruder in our neighbourhood did die from being poisoned and yes every one was suspect.

It was later discovered there had been pest control used on the railway nearby and this cat was a great mouse catcher and eater and unknowingly committed suicide.

Why should other people put up with cats if they don't like them? Cat owners can easly keep them with-in their propoerty with the correct fencing.

So you are happy to have rats, mice, ants, slugs, fleas etc living in your house and garden?

Some of these cannot even be accused of spreading diseases to humans, yet we kill them. While I wouldn't bump off someone's cat, I think I'd have the right to be angry about someone else's pet defecating in my garden - and also possibly spreading a nasty parasite.
